TcxCustomColorComboBoxProperties.DefaultColorStyle Property

Specifies the appearance of the control when no color is selected.

Declaration

property DefaultColorStyle: TcxDefaultColorStyle read; write; default cxdcColor;

Property Value

Type	Default
TcxDefaultColorStyle	cxdcColor

Remarks

Color combo box controls do not require that a color be selected. By default, no color is selected at application startup. End-users can also force the editor to accept this state by pressing the ESC key. Also, lack of a selected color can occur when the AddToList parameter of the OnSelectCustomColor event is set to False. (The AllowSelectColor property must be set to True to allow custom colors to be selected.)

The appearance of the editor when no color is selected is provided by the DefaultColorStyle property. The following values are available:

Property’s Value	Meaning	Effect
cxdcClear	The color box is populated with the same color as the background.
cxdcColor	The color box is populated with the color specified by the DefaultColor property.
cxdcHatched	The box has a diagonal hatch brush. The brush color is specified by the DefaultColor property.
cxdcText	The color box is not displayed.
cxdcCustom	Handle the OnGetDefaultColor event to provide a custom color.

Note

The text displayed when no color is selected is specified by the DefaultDescription property. Text visibility is specified by the ShowDescriptions property.

The default value of the DefaultColorStyle property is cxdcColor.
